The porridge was soft and smelt nice. Every grain of rice was soft and cooked to perfection. It melted as soon as he took a bite of it. The taste was perfect, which whetted Han Yichen’s appetite. "Ah Chen, you have good culinary skills."

At the very least, this porridge was much better than the horrendous thing that Meng Yunhan brought for him a few days ago. That thing...he did not know what to say about it. It was so disgusting that it nearly made him pass out all over again.

"If Dad likes it, then you should have some more." Han Ruochen had no idea why her father did not ask her brother to cook for him. If she was not wrong, her brother cooked even better than her. However, she still served him another bowl and then stopped. It was never good to eat a lot of food after having surgery.

Han Yichen knew that his daughter only had his best interests at heart; surely, she did not mean any harm to him. So even though he was hungry, he did not ask for more porridge, and after eating two bowls, he drank some warm water to ease the remaining hunger.

"Brother, you are really fortunate. Your children are really filial. They are even better than your wife when it comes to taking care of you." Han Ruochen raised her head upon hearing the new voice, and only then did she realise that there was another patient in Han Yichen’s ward.

The patient did not notice the surprise in Han Ruochen’s eyes. At that moment, he was filled with a great sense of injustice in his heart. What was this? Why did he not have a daughter? Look at this: a daughter was really like a warm, cotton-padded jacket. This comrade’s daughter was looking after him even better than his wife looked after him.

And the rest of his children were just as good. The elder son knew how to cook and bring meals, while the second daughter knew how to take care of her father when no one was around. They were really a perfect family, if only one could ignore the wife and the adopted daughter.

"Yes. I am truly blessed." Han Yichen smiled and agreed. "The reason I was able to survive this time around was all thanks to my children. Especially my second daughter. I have to thank her for saving my life, or else who knows what would have happened to me. She is even better than my sons. Who says that a man needs to have a son to live a good life? Look at me, when it came to saving my life, it was my daughter who helped me the most."

Han Ziyan, who arrived just in time to hear these words, was so furious that she turned green with anger. What was going on? These past few days, Han Yichen was acting as if he had been smacked on the head with a stick. She even told him that she was the one who took the loan from the warehouse, but her father had never taken a single word to heart.

"Dad, do you want to drink some warm water?" Han Ziyan asked with a raging look in her eyes. She quickly poured him a cup of warm water and then brought it to Han Yichen. "The temperature is just right. You should drink more water now that you have eaten something heavy."

Han Yichen blinked a few times and then allowed Han Ziyan to feed him water. However, he was not smiling as widely as he was before and seeing him act like this, Han Ziyan was even more frustrated. What was going on?

Why was her father even more indifferent to her than before? Clearly, her mother told her that as long as she appeared in front of Han Yichen as soon as he woke up, he would treat her better than his biological children. Now, even though she could not say that Han Yong and the rest were being treated better than her, Han Ruochen certainly was being treated as if she were the golden child!

Han Yichen did not know what Han Ziyan was thinking. Instead, he calmly wiped the water off his lips and lay back down on the bed. Since his children were working hard to serve him, how could he allow his adopted daughter to rest and have a good time? She should also serve him.

After Han Ziyan helped Han Yichen drink water, she saw how the man was looking even calmer than before. There was no appreciation in his eyes. She felt awkward and uneasy. She just could not understand what was going on. Why was her father making her position so awkward?

Han Ruochen glanced at her adopted sister and did not know what to say. She had a feeling that something was going on. Her father had never treated Han Ziyan so coldly before. Did he know something?

Unbeknownst to Han Ruochen, Han Ziyan was thinking the same thing. She pursed her lips and waited for her mother to return to the hospital before breaking into tears. "Mom, what is the matter with Dad? You told me that as long as I do what you asked me to, Dad will treat me better than the rest of them! But look at what happened? These past few days, Dad has been ignoring me. He even made me look bad in front of others, and he even makes me stay back at night to look after him."

"Mom, I am a girl. Isn’t it better to make Han Yong stay behind? He is a man and can take care of my father better than I. So why is my dad adamant about making me stay back? He is making things difficult for me. I even have a job to take care of!"

Han Ziyan was going crazy after staying the night at hospital for two consecutive nights!
